The City of Broadview Heights requires a $25,000 contractor license bond as a condition of registering as a contractor in the city. Ours is $750 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for everyone, with no credit check on this bond.
















Municipal license bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Municipal contractor license bonds like this issue right after purchase for most applicants. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of Broadview Heights Building Department with your contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$25,000 bond × 3% = $750, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A Broadview Heights contractor license bond is a compliance guarantee to the City. It stands behind your promise to follow the City of Broadview Heights’ building and contractor ordinances, pull the right permits, and perform work to code within the city.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Broadview Heights (the obligee). If you violate the city's contractor or building requirements and the city or a property owner is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull proper permits and build to code treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
